Title: Method of forming twisted building façade element and apparatus
Inventor: ALAN TREVOR MCGRATH
IPC: E06B7/082
Filed: 2021-02-12
Abstract: A method, and apparatus 10, is for forming a twisted or helical building façade element, such as a louvre 12. The method includes providing an elongate metal building façade element precursor having a first clampable portion 16 and a second clampable portion 20, spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction. The precursor is clamped at the first clampable portion with a first clamp 14 and at the second clampable portion with a second clamp 18. The method then involves imparting tension to the precursor via the first and second clamps. The second clamp is rotated relative to the first clamp, so as to twist the building-façade-element precursor whilst the precursor is under tension to form the twisted building façade element. The twisted building façade element is then released from the first and second clamps. A linear displacement means is used to linearly displace the first clamp relative to the second clamp, to provide the tension. The second clamp may be rotated at least 90 degrees or at least 180 degrees. The metal may be aluminium or an aluminum alloy. The precursor may be planar.

Title: Code management system updating
Inventor: JOHANNES NOPPEN
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2021-03-22
Abstract: A method of updating software code in a code management system 254 comprises receiving candidate code 200 for merging with the code 252 in the code management system and extracting features of the candidate code, each feature being based on predetermined metrics of the update. The features are processed by a plurality of disparate classifiers 210 (e.g. machine learning classifiers), each being trained via supervised training to identify software defects based on a set of features, wherein intersections between a predetermined number of identified sets of features are indicated as prospective code errors. The candidate code is selectively merged with the code in the code management system dependent on the prospective code defects. Before and after the selective merging step, the software in the code management system undergoes the same process as the update code to detect any problems. The results are compared to identify code defects introduced by the merging step and a remediation process is performed on the code in the code management system.
